Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

It feels like as soon as Biden got into office a lot of people on the left threw their BLM signs in the garbage and stopped caring. Now I'm starting to see more and more on the left detach themselves from people of color and go right back to the white worship they were doing before. Every single time a person of color is now a lead in anything there's just nothing but endless controversy and both conservatives and liberals just complain

But put a white person in a lead? Nothing but sunshine and "we're starting to heal" nonsense

Really sick of it now, and it's completely soured me on wanting to vote again

I really like pokemon scarlet and violet. I think they're my favorite Pokemon games ever.

Not all migrants are good for the country. Many come with views incompatble with western culture. Stuff like homophobia, transohobia, mysogyny. And they are often brought over as cheap labor, undercutting local labor.

The right to keep and bear arms is an inalienable right. We should be able to carry on all public lands, and other places open to the public.

Tattoos look bad like 90% of the time.

The government is not to be trusted.

I agree with your first point. As for your second point, beliefs like that are why we should not allow Americans to immigrate to Europe.

I wish Lemmy apps didn't collapse comments when tapping them - it makes text selection impossible (or rather, it forces you through the 'view source' menu which is ludicrously roundabout for the purpose).
